Sanan Optoelectronics cheap embarrassed grab a single strategy to enter the LED market in Taiwan

Mainland LED epitaxial plant three safety optoelectronics chip disadvantage to enter the Taiwan market cheap sales. LED downstream packaging manufacturers, Taiwan LED chip cost is still better than the mainland, Epistar and Formosa Epitaxy technology leader in two years, next year will be the the LED lighting outbreak years, overcapacity situation is also expected to relieve.
The third quarter of the LED industry prospects, better-than-expected orders over hand, anxious reminders goods with upstream, the East Unity Opto chairman of Wu Qinghui said. Epistar 8 monthly production two weeks ago can not full, and on Sept. conservative, but September's capacity is full. Epistar said that the third quarter of the LED backlight TV demand exceeds Epistar expected.
Formosa Epitaxy has recently received a lot of Korean the Lumens and East Tony's orders, and the demand from orders in the third quarter is very busy in August and September are presented full Formosa Epitaxy's TV orders have seen 4 quarter.
Sanan Optoelectronics rapid rise of the past two years, to winkle engineers not only to Epistar, Formosa Epitaxy LED epitaxial plant, recently actively send samples of Taiwan LED packaging factory, cheap grab one.
An LED packaging factory competent San'an chip indeed sent the test, but the test results is not good, to a performance point of view, if Epistar 1, Sanan is only 0.8, and the price is cheaper, and therefore as long as used in TV This high level of orders, the Taiwan plant also dare to use domestic chip.
Previous rumor of Delta Electronics, Sanan Optoelectronic chip, Delta Electronics. Denied the claim, and said the current assessment of other domestic chip plant, mainly for the domestic market considerations.
East Tony Sanan Optoelectronics domestic chip plant in Taiwan offer that is not competitive, high stability LED TV accounted for the cost is not high, and the requirements of the specifications of the TV backlight narrow, domestic chip plants is not easy to break into Taiwan chip plant technology can also be at least two years ahead.
The other LED packaging manufacturers charge of domestic LED plant mostly vertical integration, so the company does not adopt the domestic chip to avoid the growth of each other, it may be a threat to Taiwan factory.
Last year, the mainland vigorously assisted manufacturers purchase MOCVD machine, caused by the imbalance between supply and demand of the LED industry, due to the the continent lack of engineers to operate, many machine presents a "sleep" state, plus the quality is not in place. LED industry believes that with the the LED lighting outbreak next year, the imbalance of supply and demand is expected to release.

Taiwan LED bulb market sales expected this year, an increase of 2.7 times

Taiwan Optoelectronics Association (PIDA) LED bulb price decline, the luminous efficiency has continued to widen the gap with the traditional Bulb LED Bulb market sales will reach 1.05 million this year than last year, a significant jump 2.7 times.

PIDA pointed out, most manufacturers choose supermarkets, 3C stores, as well as commercial ultrasonic physical channels, sales of LED light bulbs; small portion cut into the traditional hydropower, electrical line sales system.

LED lighting market recession global hopes on Asia

Under the influence of the European credit crisis, the world's major regional lighting market have varying degrees of impact, LED manufacturers in mainland China to export-orientated orders are generally downward, especially the European lighting market to buy gas is significantly lower than in other regions Therefore, many LED manufacturers began to turn its attention to China's LED tenders market. Three ministries in China in July this year to re-tender the 2012/2013 annual semiconductor lighting products, financial subsidies to promote the project "re-start, letting many firms renewed hope.
Looking forward to the second half of 2012, the poor environment of the mall to buy gas, large lighting built case also gradually shut down most of export manufacturers lock the small and medium-sized lighting projects ongoing, and the field of commercial space lighting. The large demand for LED lighting, and still have hope in China in the second half of the lighting standard case market.
http://www.tungsten-molybdenum-sapphire.com/big5/index.htmAccording to the survey, the 2012 LED-based lighting manufacturers to export to Europe in the third quarter of the third quarter of customer orders estimates generally fell more than 20% (QoQ). Orders for the European region, the decline in the proportion of the most obvious in May 2012 to July 2012 the second half of the market economy is not clear, the European distributor, generally in a wait and reduce the number of orders in the Asian market. In addition, a large lighting project for parts of Europe would have been expected batches into the works, money is not injected into the shut down. Looking ahead to the second half of 2012, the European region's small and medium-sized lighting projects ongoing, but the fight due to the competition, the price is quite intense.
In addition to the European market, the U.S. market by housing starts increased demand for the second quarter of 2012 lighting market needs strengthening, especially the monthly increase of LED bulbs and LED lamps. 2012 second half of the traditional peak season for residential lighting applications, but the visibility of orders at this stage is still not clear, but better than the European market.
The downturn of the Asian region by Europe and North America, international lighting manufacturers such as Philips, Osram turn optimistic about the market potential in Asia. Such as Japan benefited from the summer energy-saving policy, the willingness of people to buy LED light bulbs are relatively high, estimated 2012 third quarter of the LED lighting market growth momentum, the Japanese market is relatively strong.
